Very easy, fast and light!

### 4/5 — Simple and elegant

*2016-07-24, version 1.1*

Could use a station nearest me feature. Also, the text under the icon would look nicer as just 'FastTimes' without the ': CTA'.

### 5/5 — Super easy to use and accurate

*2016-04-30, version 1.0*

Used the app to check my train time and realized I had to jog to make it. Arrived just in time thanks to the app.
